Isolate different production areas with high performance door
In food industry facilities, distinct areas need isolation without affecting the overall flow of business. In food industry facilities, there are many places where you need to keep contaminants out. In some areas of the building, it is important to keep the temperature low enough to prevent spoilage. In other areas, food safety is a paramount concern and cleanliness is maintained at a high level. Food manufacturing facilities, especially those that handle raw products, require strict isolation but that isolation shouldn’t affect the ability of employees and machinery to move through a facility. And in a non-food related facility, companies may need to set up various production areas.
Preventing contaminants from entering various areas is also of great importance. After that, it is important that their productivity is not affected by the process involved in preventing contamination. This means that effective sealing depends upon how effectively a door seals to the opening where it closes. High performance doors must be able to prevent contamination in addition to providing clear access for traffic and equipment.
Touch-less Accessibility to a church
Challenge
COVID-19 prevention being such a concern, a major Church (felt it necessary to implement Touch-less doors to allow patrons to enter the building without coming in contact with others. This was especially important with had elderly and disabled population that was hard to control in the instances of an emergency. With Touchless, door operation. Now they are able to provide a safe place for their existing community while also easily opening the door for all individuals that needed it.
Solution
We automated their existing manual doors, which provided a quick and easy installation which required no expensive or time-consuming construction or structural updates.
Challenge
Blast freezers provide a unique door challenge to rolling steel, overhead and even fabric doors. The temperatures are usually in the range of -10° F on the warm side to a subfreezing temperature of -30° to -40° F on the cold side. These low temperatures are needed to ensure that the products remain frozen during transportation abroad. Unfortunately, such low temperatures also cause icing problems on conventional doors. The doors jam and ice builds up on the panels creating headaches and safety issues for the owner.
Solution
Industrial door systems solve these difficult issues with their commercial door. The door has a heavy-duty low temperature 0.25" thick EPDM rubber curtain that is rated for continuous use at -40° to -50° F. The curtain remains flexible and straightens quickly to enter the guides during the closing cycle. Ice does not build up on this curtain the same way it does on conventional products.
Other items that need to be included in the order for proper operation of the door are
- One-way rectifier and voltage relay for cut-off in the DC circuit rectifier to keep the brake warm and frost free
- Synthetic oil and a heat probe in the gear box
- A heater strip in the limit box and the wall mounted panel
Challenge
An existing large yacht storage building was converted to a windmill tower production facility. The large space was perfect for fabricating and assembling massive sections of towers in preparation for shipment to field installation. However, the horizontal sliding doors required 3-4 men to open, frequently struggling with ice and snow in the door tracks; one time dislodging the door completely. This was a serious worker safety concern as well as an inefficient operation. Several other types of large hangar doors were considered for similar cost however lead times were much longer.
Solution
Broad wind already had a very positive recent history with doors in a blast booth application. The doors had proven to have a tight seal, were low maintenance and had the ability to withstand accidental impact. The heavy-duty doors would accommodate the large equipment used to move tower sections in and out of the building. Broad wind's concern about wind load was quickly put to rest with 90 mph rating. The heavy- duty door construction and springless design were key features for the operations team. Management's initial apprehension for the cost of these large doors was allayed when safety Risk and ROI was fully reviewed.
Waste management company need extra wide and extra height door solution
Based on the needs of Waste Management, we supplied and installed three large, externally mounted Rolling Steel doors to ensure optimal functionality for this high-usage application. These Rolling Steel doors, along with the various other equipment items provided will allow for a dependable, fully functional building.
Fire station need high speed door with bi folding option solution
Four - fold doors at the exit doors for emergency vehicles, as the high speed and dependability of these doors are critical to maintaining a quick and efficient response when an emergency call is received. Aluminum full view sectional doors were supplied at the rear of the building to ensure full, drive-through access is provided for all emergency vehicles in each bay.
Food company need specialty door separate extreme cold inside from out- side hot and humid Solution
Unlike steel roll-up doors which mount close to the door header, these externally mounted units position the motor and key components farther away from process steam and vehicle traffic plus allow sunlight to enter improving visibility, safety and creating a more pleasing work environment. For added safety, employees must push and hold the close button at all times to lower the door, giving the user the ability to stop the door at a moment's notice. Additional safety is provided with a bottom safety edge and photo eyes to prevent any contact-related damage or injuries.
Challenge
A well-known upscale bar and restaurant had a significant problem with theft from both the dining area and the bar. They also wanted to reduce the time and labor involved in setting up and closing operations each day. The goal was to minimize shrinkage (inventory loss) while keeping employee theft at a minimum.
Solution
The design team found a creative solution to the repetitive task of setting up and taking down bar displays: installing a series of lockable steel Roll-Up doors that can remain in place around the clock. The doors, which are stained to match the existing woodwork, offer greater security than storeroom shelving.
